Papers On Malay Subjects - Richard James Wilkinson

Papers on Malay Subjects: Law, Part 1-2: Introductory Sketch and the Ninety-Nine Laws of Perak (1908) is a book written by Richard James Wilkinson. The book is about the laws of the Malay state of Perak, which were codified in the late 19th century. The first part of the book provides an introductory sketch of the legal system in Perak, including its history and development. The second part of the book contains a translation and analysis of the Ninety-Nine Laws of Perak, which were enacted in 1877. These laws cover a wide range of topics, including criminal law, civil law, and land tenure. The book provides a valuable insight into the legal system of a Malay state during the colonial period, and is of interest to scholars and students of Southeast Asian history, law, and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
